Response to 9/11 The Event On 11th September 2001, four planes were hijacked by Al-Qaeda.

Two airplanes full of passengers crashed into the world trade center, one plane crashed into the pentagon, and another was purposely taken down by a group of courageous passengers who took over the plane from the hijackers, crashed that plane into an open field potentially saving the lives of thousands.
